Do you have any problems with any of them.. I made gooseberry a couple of weeks ago which should set fine without additives, but it hasn't really set that well.  I reboiled it and added Certo but it still is a bit sloppy.  The fruit was just right, not over ripe.  I can't think why?

I've never had problems with gooseberries but have had problems with strawberries unless I add pectin. Marrow jam never sets properly for me unless I use jam sugar or add pectin stock, even though I use cooking or crab apples and lemon juice in it.

I don't know what was wrong the gooseberries were hard and green used within 12 hours and the recipe followed to the letter, I even used a thermometer (cooking).  I'll just watch it and use fairly quickly.  Shame I love gooseberry jam on scones in front of the fire in the winter. :(

My jams,marmalades etc are semi solid slop. I just use fresh lemon juice & a jam thermometer, no added pectin or special sugars. They tend to thicken with cooling.
